Which type of Solder for RCM?

I’m a total rookie, and as the title says, I have no clue what type of solder has had the most success with our RCM’s? Thanks in advance!

Use rosin cored solder for electronic use. Do not use acid cited solder.

I tried that too, but found strawberry much more rewarding

( BTW, I still have some on a roll that I got back in the 60's when I was repairing transistor based computers for NCR )
